The Painbrush is a Main weapon in Splatoon 3. It was released on June 1, 2023 alongside the S-BLAST '92 as part of the Sizzle Season update. It is a large, powerful paintbrush that has the slowest swing speed of all brushes, but has the highest range and damage, doubling as a powerful melee weapon and respectable ranged capability. Its smearing speed is roughly identical to the Octobrush, but leaves behind a thicker trail.

Quotes[]
“ | SRL Ballistics back again! The S-BLAST was and IS cool, but we can only watch the video so many times. Now we're on to the Painbrush, the biggest, heaviest, and NEWEST brush in the game! Please hold while we watch and analyze our new Painbrush video 2,479 times.
And here it is in action! Note how the first swing is slow, but subsequent swings fling ink fast and wide. Plus, you can hold down the Button to advance quickly as needed. If battling is an art, this brush could be... an art tool? IDK. We're scientists, not artists. |
